well, my point is a person needs to determine on their own if learning something like haskell really makes them a better carpenter, or if they are just going leveling up their "number of programming languages" XP because that's the main XP they are familiar with.

If I had to pick a point of leverage with which to increase programming skill in minimal time, "learn a new programming language" would be far down the list if two or three for various contexts were already well mastered. "Learn Haskell", almost universally, would be near the bottom.
